Still going strong!!!! Rock on Robin, fantastic performance. Some of my best memories include listening to Bridge of Sighs with my friend Billy after school smoking some columbian pot.

Back in the long misty days I got a back stage pass in Miami to see Robin, huge amount of food wasted, It sat there on the table while everyone was sniffing, GREAT show that night

[@robertjackson2663]

ROBIN WAS NOT INDULGING , BUT EVERYBODY ELSE WAS. GREAT MEMORIES, BACK IN THE DAY WE SAW " EVERYBODY ".

[@friscocoonsliscano]

Bad to the bone ❤ true legend

[@thewordofgord]

Thanks for the upload friends. Robin great, vocals mixed a bit low ufortunately. Saw him with Procol in 71 and 73, (Massey Hall, Toronto).

[@MKguitarist]

Dad saw him in 1975. We saw him together in 2006 or 2007 I think. That was a great line up with Davey and Dave Bronze. Then mid 10's. I really didn't like the new drums and bass. I'm known as the Mark Knopfler player but in 2011 I decided to play a few Robin Trower gigs. I called the band Living out of Time and no one was interested because no one had heard of him. We probably did about 8 gigs after buying all the gear, learning a completely new style. It was good though. Sounded just like the old days. Powerful.

[@raycordell]

Wow a lot of work to put on a Robin covers band, it’s a shame that it didn’t work out for you

[@martinfinch1343]

The Drummer and Bass impressed all so

[@raycordell]

Yes what a power trio this is

[@jimkostan9932]

At age 14 my guitar instructor was a Robin Trower clone and taught me the entire Bridge of sighs album,Love Trower. Robin was a big fan of Albert King so that's why he bends downward..

[@raycordell]

@@jimkostan9932 what a great introduction to guitar playing

[@Mark-lq3sb]

WHAT? I thought this was the Taylor Swift concert! *Laugh out loud!* Lucky enough to see Robin at least 8 times since the 1970s over here in the States. One of the greatest guitarist of our generation!

[@raycordell]

Mark, and he’s still got it, what an amazing talent

[@BaljakTuners]

love his playing ...jimi sound forewer..I call Tesla sound

[@raycordell]

Yes there’s very few that can pull off this type of guitar playing now, he was excellent at Islington

[@oxfuzz]

KING TONE

[@raycordell]

Yes 100%

[@DaveHogerty]

well done.

[@raycordell]

@@DaveHogerty my pleasure

[@deanallen927]

Wow, inside it resembles the Fox Theater in Oakland.

[@raycordell]

Yes it’s a terrific venue

[@Richard-x9k]

I was so fortunate to have seen him in the early 2000's at Jacksonville Florida. I gave him a Space Pen afterward. I told him that the United States invested a million dollars so that they could have a pen that wrights in black ink in space. But that the Russian's weren't as smart as the United States, so they just brought a pencil with them. He seemed to get a kick out of that.

[@williamdahl3318]

Excellent HD footage, thanks for posting! What kind of camera are you using? Been a huge RT fan since Bridge of Sighs was 1st released. Still listen to it regularly 50 years later.

@@moniquemelancon6200 yes he is, new tour planned in 2025

[@colintaylor666]

Sorry guys. We left after 30 minutes. The mix was terrible, the volume ear crushing. And, frankly, I found the whole thing self indulgent and uninspiring. So disappointed.

[@moniquemelancon6200]

Is he still alive ? Is that him in video?

[@threeleggedman]

I've been loving Trower since 1977. I have to say, though, that each time I've seen him his guitar was too loud. Drowns out the rest of the band.

[@raycordell]

Must admit that I have to agree with you, the vocals were totally lost at this show, the back line was far too loud

[@Albrecht777]

It was a great evening and a fantastic concert. However, I concur with you, too. The same is true of a lot of Randy Hansen's concerts (although, happily, not all of them). Those who saw Hendrix know that it was sometimes the case with him, as well.

[@richardhincemon]

Vocals were always not very audible at concert venues unless you were Ronnie James Dio RIP 😢

[@ObjectiveDynamics]

@@raycordell it's that row of Marshalls. In an era when many guitarists are downsizing their amps Robin's sadly ploughing his own furrow. I feel sorry for the vocalist

[@ラージャン怒りの鉄拳ラーメン大]

He stumbled in the middle of phrases and looked a little off. I guess it can't be helped since I'm 79 years old.

[@Sandman64613]

Looking 'perfection' , huh🤔? In 'rock-n-roll,' sometimes imperfection is a new path or revision.

[@daniel213141]

I've read else where that he had surgery just recently. Perfect health or not, he sounded fine to me.

[@ラージャン怒りの鉄拳ラーメン大]

@@daniel213141 Sorry, I was too nervous. Thank you for the good video.

[@MOAONAABE]

22:51 rock and roll has many facets, this one still howls like any wolf. sometimes the young wolves need to be taught how to howl.

[@raycordell]

100% my friend, Robin is still top of his game, long may it continue
